Dr. Dickerson was AWESOME. My daughter fractured her distal fibula (ankle) in 3 places. It was a complicated fixation. He had her placed immediately NPO and we returned for surgery that same evening. She had a plate and 8 screws placed. She has healed wonderfully since her initial surgery and just went in for hardware removal of 1 screw placed for stabilization today. She had absolutely minimal pain post-operative and did very well on a few days of Tylenol alternating with Ibuprofen. He never made us feel rushed at any of our appointments and answered all our questions. He was an expert and quite knowledgeable! I work at a very well known pediatric orthopedic facility as a hospitalist and had consulted with the orthopedic surgeons I worked with about my daughter's fracture - Dr. Dickerson's medical expertise and recommendations correlated with theirs. He was awesome. I would highly recommend him.
